Title: "Flash and Data Visualization"


Abstract:
Flash and Data Visualization

More and more data is available and being visualized everyday. The innovations of Web 2.0 are changing how we think and interact with data. But Web 2.0 has focused primarily on technologies like Ajax and RSS. These technologies are great, but can be visually limiting. Fortunately, Flash can step in where Ajax leaves off, allowing you to create anything from simple bar charts to websites that function like desktop applications.

Come see how Flash can be used to visualize data. What are its advantages and disadvantages? What are the design considerations when developing dynamic apps? And finally, how do you code this stuff?

Bio:

Doug Marttila is Lead Developer at Visual i|o (www.visual-io.com), a leading provider of business-focused data visualizations. He is presenting at this year's Macromedia MAX Conference, where he will speak about using Flash for data visualization.
